Top 3 cheap hotels with breakfast included in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I found a great budget option in the fresh and spacious Hampton by Hilton Amsterdam Centre East hotel. For tourists, this hotel offers free private parking and even an electric vehicle charging station. There is also a fitness center, and the staff at the 24-hour front desk speaks six languages. You can also inquire about the cost of laundry and dry cleaning services if you need them. 

The continental breakfast is served in a buffet format. I saw a lot of photos on the booking site, and I can say for sure that there is a good selection and a sufficiently quality presentation of the dishes here. As for drinks, you can choose coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or fruit juice. In addition to hearty hot dishes, there are pastries, bread, which can be complemented with butter or jam, meat platter, and eggs. For those who prefer a lighter breakfast – porridge, cereals, and various fruits. 

The hotel is located in the Zeeburg area of Amsterdam, just 22 minutes' drive from Schiphol Airport. If you take the tram, you can reach the Rijksmuseum, Museum District, and Leidseplein. The tram stop is only 250 meters from the hotel. The distance to Rembrandt Square is 2.7 km, and to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam is 2.8 km.

Since this is a budget hotel, there are no special amenities in the rooms, but the furniture looks clean and fresh. The rooms have sufficiently large windows with thick curtains so you can sleep well in the early morning. Air conditioning and heating have been considered for different seasons. A small safe is provided in the room for valuable items. In the guest area with an armchair or at the desk, you can enjoy a hot drink as a coffee maker and kettle are provided.

The second hotel, Residence Inn by Marriott Amsterdam Houthavens, also falls into the budget category, but you can find many free and great services for yourself here!

In the fitness center, you can work out. Outside, you can rent bicycles. Inside the hotel, you will find a mini-market and a bar.

A little further from the hotel is the Royal Palace, and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around the hotel where you can grab a bite. The nearest metro station is about 3 km away.

What delighted me in the hotel was the presence of a well-equipped kitchen in every room. For budget travelers, in addition to the complimentary breakfast, having a kitchen is important, as you can always come up with something light and inexpensive for dinner. Besides this pleasant circumstance, many rooms offer a beautiful view of the river from the window. In the private bathroom, shower amenities, towels, and a hairdryer are provided. The kitchen is combined with the living room and dining area, making the space look large and comfortable even for a family stay. The floor-to-ceiling windows will make you fall in love with this place even more, as such an amount of light and space always lifts the mood!
